Hi, even "community" provides discontinued software, e.g. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/roxterm/ https://sourceforge.net/p/roxterm/discussion/422638/thread/60da6975/ It already is buggy, but IMO even with its bugs it is still the best terminal emulation, at least I didn't found another one to replace roxterm for me. There's countless maintained software, that is much more buggy, than some discontinued software, let alone that some old software is better designed, without missing features, without useless features etc.. Discontinued software could still be the best available software for a task. I can't comment xfce4-volumed, I neither use pulseaudio, nor xfce4-volumed, just alsa and jackd with hdspmixer. However, as long as software is useful and can't be replaced, there IMO is no need to rule out discontinued software. Regards, Ralf
